It鈥檚 been 376 days since President Evans Whitaker formally established the 糖心Vlog传媒 COVID-19 Task Force. (Not that anyone鈥檚 counting, right?)
Things escalated quickly! First, we extended spring break by a week. Shortly after that, we took the enormous step of moving to remote operations for the rest of the semester. And, really, things haven’t slowed down since.
We hope you鈥檒l find it encouraging that over the course of our last few meetings we鈥檝e been looking for ways to ease some restrictions and lift the incredible burden you鈥檝e had to bear for more than a year. In short, in the coming weeks, we hope to phase in new Journey Ahead protocols. Stay tuned.
That being said鈥攁nd to be perfectly clear鈥攚e鈥檙e not there yet. We鈥檝e not reached the light that鈥檚 so tantalizingly near the end of our yearlong tunnel. There are no substantive changes to Journey Ahead protocols. Masks or face coverings still are required. Six-foot physical distancing still is necessary. If you鈥檙e experiencing symptoms, you should stay off campus and call Thrive Wellness.
Please understand: We are not unsympathetic to the stress you鈥檙e experiencing. Those of us on the COVID-19 Task Force are feeling it, too. It鈥檚 been a long, long year for all of us. But we need your help to finish strong.
Thank you once again for your incredible cooperation and diligence. We鈥檝e made it this far because of your willingness to sacrifice for the good of others. We are grateful for you. We鈥檙e proud of you. We love you.
P.S.
